A hustlers Wife

Chapter 8

''This shit was too good to be true'' Tarik says grabbing Mikayla by the arm and Marcus grabbed me. I didn't even say anything because they didn't want us in no danger.

''Just keep walking man'' Marcus says while walking fast . It was hard for me to catch up. ''Want me to pick you up?''

''No'' I say catching up. Next thing we know gunshots are being fired.

''Ahhhhh'' I scream. Marcus pushed me on the ground and covers me up with his body. Gun shots were still going on.

''Shit'' Marcus screams.

''What's wrong?'' I ask him.

''Just stay down'' he says out of breath.

''Marcus are you okay?'' I ask getting from up under him. The gunshots was still going on but I knew something was wrong with Marcus. I got up and seen that he had been hit twice in his arm.

''Liyah get down'' he says. My eyes was starting to tear up.

''SOMEONE GET HELPP''

''What's wrong'' Tarik asks.

''Marcus was hit'' I say crying

''Oh shit'' Tarik says.

''Breathe baby breathe'' I say kissing him on his cheeks. He smiled then he blanked out......

HOURS LATER

''He's going to be okay'' Mikayla says hugging me. I didn't know the feelings that I actually had for Marcus until today. It hurts me to see him hurting. I had been crying ever since he had got shot. We was in the waiting room waiting for the doctors to show up and tell us what was going on.

''I can't stop shaking'' I say.

''Calm down'' Tarik says.

''Friends and family of Marcus?''

''Yes'' we says.

''He's doing good you can follow me'' the doctor says my heart drops. ''Here are your friends'' the doctor says and Marcus smiles.

''Thank god you're good bruh'' Tarik says.

''Man no more scenes for a while'' he says laughing.

''G-shit man . ''

''You good brodie'' Mikayla says kissing him on the forehead.

''Yeah thanks sis'' he says and looks at me. I begin to cry again.

''Baby girl come here'' he says getting up and stretching out his arms towards me.

''I'm just happy you're okay'' I say hugging him.

''I'm good '' he says kissing my cheeks. ''Thanks for being so worried about me man. This means a lot to me honestly''

''We gon let y'all be'' Tarik says winking at me.

''We'll be out in the waiting room'' Mikayla says while they're walking out the room.

''So why are you really crying? What's up?'' he asks.

''I was just worried'' I say shrugging my shoulders.

''That's just more than being worried'' he says. Should I tell him how I feel? Naw I'm good.

''I'm just very emotional'' I say laughing.

''Oh okay that's understandable'' he says. I felt as if he knew something was up. ''Well I guess you can get going now since you don't have anything to tell me'' he says.
